When asked about the possibility of Cardi B stepping into the ring at SummerSlam 2025, Triple H did not dismiss the idea.

Who the hell knows? The one thing I know about Cardi is whatever she’s gonna do is what she’s gonna do and you’re sort of, kind of just hanging onto the tiger’s tail a little bit there."

Triple H also shared that working with Cardi has been enjoyable, noting her excitement for her role at SummerSlam 2025.
